Ecation in the United States is provided mainly by government, with control and funding coming from three levels: federal, state, and local. School attendance is mandatory and nearly universal at the primary and secondary levels (often known inside the United States as the elementary and high school levels). At these levels, school curricula, funding, teaching, and other policies are set through locally elected school boards with jurisdiction over school districts. School districts are usually separate from other local jurisdictions, with independent officials and budgets. Ecational standards and standardized testing decisions are usually made by state governments.

The ages for compulsory ecation vary by state, beginning at ages five to eight and ending at the ages of fourteen to eighteen.[4] A growing number of states are now requiring school attendance until the age of 18.

Students have the options of having their ecation held in public schools, private schools, or home school. In most public and private schools, ecation is divided into three levels: elementary school, junior high school (also often called middle school), and senior high school. In almost all schools at these levels, children are divided by age groups into grades, ranging from kindergarten (followed by first grade) for the youngest children in elementary school, up to twelfth grade, which is the final year of high school. The exact age range of students in these grade levels varies slightly from area to area.
